[Verse 1]
Dear my nigga, a man of many names
When you get around to reading this, I’ll be on a plane
I know letters kinda lame, but I needa new phone still
I’m broke enough already don’t got money for a phone bill
Late on your birthday I’m sorry that I missed it
My car overheated made it kinda hard to visit
The prison, before I took this trip to L.A
Remember when I told you that I had a sit down with Jay?
Took your advice and booked the flight before they ripped it away
Aha Roe Roe Roe that’s just some shit that I say
You’ll probably think that it’s gay, but nigga you the one in jail right
I’m playing; when I sign this deal you know I got your bail right?
This lady in my aisle is coughing like a horse, what a bimbo
While I’m eating, bout the meeting I’ll let you know how the thing go
And tell you all about it when I’m back at the prison
And we talking on phone through the window
[Chorus]
The city looking dry I’m tryna swim hoe
I made it out alive I’m tryna swim home
It’s raining outside I like to keep my pride on the indoors
Wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
I said I wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
On the other side, on the other side of the window
[Verse 2]
Boss, somebody’s here ok Jene wave ‘em in
Who is it? Oh John glad that you could make it in
Well thank you for having me, sure how was your flight?
Uh some woman coughed savagely, I’m more a fan of gravity sir
No need for sir, I’m bout to grab a quick lunch
But about your deal, the labels in a big crunch
We played your songs for Jay he really liked a big bunch
But we think you’re still young and should come back in like six months
I hope you understand, that wasn’t in your plans
Were both still big fans, a couple lines were like damn?
But 6 months is so soon like June, don’t be sad or mellow
It’s not a red light just green with a tad of yellow
Jene grab the Amaretto, John let’s take a shot
Cause you still got a shot, I’d really love to stay and talk
But I gotta walk to a meeting that I got right now
I wanna stress it’s not a no it’s just not right now
[Chorus]
The city looking dry I’m tryna swim hoe
I made it out alive I’m tryna swim home
It’s raining outside I like to keep my pride on the indoors
Wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
[Verse 3]
Hola, you’re speaking to Hovain (What? how’d the meeting go)
I don’t know it was so lame
Kinda like when we fuck and you give me no brains
(Are you drunk!?) Did I tell you tonight I did cocaine?
With a big booty white girl that’s hotter than you
You’d be surprised what another niggas daughter would do
(Nigga Listen), Babe you shoulda seen the way I made her choke
(You’re being a fucking asshole) oh my god take a joke
How’d the meeting go, like I don’t know use your noodle
They don’t – wanna - sign - me, let’s find a job on Google
(Well what’d they say?) “what they say” that I need more time
Some bigger twitter figures and maybe a Cosign
(Look don’t fucking yell at me), oh my god I’m not yelling
It’s just 2021 the College Dropout Isn't selling
So stop being an overoptimistic bimbo
It's simple, Look I missed my hello- hello!
Fuck! I missed my window!
I missed hello!?
[Chorus]
The city looking dry I’m tryna swim hoe
I made it out alive I’m tryna swim home
It’s raining outside I like to keep my pride on the indoors
Wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
I said I wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
On the other side, on the other side of the window
[Verse 4]
Hey God, it’s me John
We haven’t spoken in a while it’s been like three songs
My cousin thinks that you’re a fraud’s tell him he’s wrong
I guess we’ll find out soon enough it won’t be long
I tried to be strong you know for my mom and shit
I can’t believe I got a girlfriend I called a bitch
You heard the phone call; Look I know that I shouldn’t of
I wanna be the best, she doesn’t get, I’m not good enough
Jay said I wasn’t ready, I waited outside
Drake’s studio for eight days til security wouldn’t let me
Slept at the airport for Cole, the nigga didn’t sweat me
Even fawned for Big Sean but he forgot that he met me
Am I obsessed!? Does that sound crazy to you?
Does that sound like something only someone crazy would do?
Wait to my niggas find out that a nigga missed his shot
I was supposed to be the one to take my niggas off the block
But now my door is locked, and I think it’s pretty simple
I finally understand what to do with this window!
Matthew!? That’s my mom banging at the door
She saying that she loves she I don’t know I love her more
Well the glass was kinda stuck, but I finally got the wedge out
You know its kinda peaceful cause I’m finally at the ledge now
MATTHEW! Mom, it’s been fun
We had a good run, NO DON’T JUMP!
[Chorus]
The city looking dry I’m tryna swim hoe
I made it out alive I’m tryna swim home
It’s raining outside I like to keep my pride on the indoors
Wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
I said I wonder what I’d find on the other side of the window
On the other side, on the other side of the window
